Title: Appreciate overall artistic value of the structure and elements of the selection
(structuralist/formalist)
A story has five basic but important elements. These five elements are: the character, the setting, the
plot, the conflict and the resolution. These essential elements keep the story running smoothly and
allow the action to develop in a logical way that the reader can follow.
What are the Elements of a Story?
Story?
Elements of a Story
1. Character is a person or animal or really anything personified. The author should introduce the
character in the story with enough information that the reader can visualize each person. This is
achieved by providing detailed description of a character’s physical attributes and personality
traits. Every story should have a main character. The main character determines the way the
plot will develop and is usually who will solve the problem the story centers upon. However,
the other characters are also very important because they supply additional details, explanations,
or actions. All characters should stay true to the author’s descriptions throughout the story so
that the reader can understand and believe the action that is taking place and perhaps even
predict which character may do next.
Types of Character
● Protagonist: the main character whose journey we follow throughout the story
● Antagonist: sometimes known as the foil, the character whose goals come up against the
protagonist, leading to conflict
● Dynamic Character: a character who changes as a result of the events in the story
● Static Character: a character who does not change his/her identity in a story
2. Setting is the location of the action. An author should describe the environment or surroundings
of the story in such detail that the reader feels that he or she can picture the scene. Unusual
scenes such as fantasy world can be interesting, but everyday settings can help a reader to better
visualize the story and feel connected to the plot.
3. Plot is the actual story around which the entire book is used. A plot should have a very clear
beginning, middle, and end with all necessary description and suspense, called exposition so
that the reader can make sense of the action and follow along from start to finish.

Plot Structure
● Exposition - introduces the character and setting
● Rising Action something that challenges the characters as they meet a challenge or crisis
● Climax - the turning point and the most exciting part of a story
● Falling Action - events that follow as a result of the climax
● Resolution or Denouement - the end part that occurs after a conflict is resolved and a
character has been changed
4. Conflict refers to the problem or complication that the characters must face. It may be a clash
between characters in the story, or against other forces. A story without a conflict is nothing,
because it is what adds color.
5. Resolution is the solution to the problem, and it is the way the action is resolved. It is important
that the resolution fits the rest of the story in tone and creativity and solve all parts of the conflict.

LISTEN TO SIMPLIFY, REORGANIZE, SYNTHESIZE, AND
TOPIC EVALUATE INFORMATION TO EXPAND, REVIEW, OR UPDATE
KNOWLEDGE
Listen to simplify, reorganize, synthesize, and evaluate
information to expand, review, or update knowledge.
LEARNING Code: • Listen for specific information or details from the
COMPETENCY EN10LC-IIIa-16 material listened to.
• Interpret the information for comprehension.
• Discuss the topic, theme and message of the material.
UNDERSTAND
Title: Listen to simplify, reorganize, synthesize, and evaluate information to expand, review, or update knowledge.
Listening is one of the macro skills in learning. Through listening, we get to understand certain things that
are being heard and that leads us to make connections among people around us. With listening skills, we get to
simplify things, reorganize and synthesize and evaluate information for us to expand, review or update our
knowledge.
In order for us to fully understand what is being said, we have to carefully listen and intently comprehend
the message or the content. Hence, listening is very good skill, that can train the minds to think logically and
creatively. Consider on listening to the song “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong to try to simplify,
reorganize, synthesize and evaluate the information from the song.
I see trees of green, I see friends shaking hands.
red roses, too. Saying, “How do you do?”
I see them bloom, They’re really saying,
for me and you. “I love you.”
And I think to myself,
what a wonderful world. I hear babies cry,
I watch them grow,
I see skies of blue, They’ll learn much more,
And clouds of white. Then I’ll ever know.
The bright blessed day, And I think to myself,
The dark sacred night. What a wonderful world.
And I think to myself,
What a wonderful world. Yes, I think to myself,
What a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow, Oh yeah.
So pretty in the sky.
Are also on the faces,
Of people going by,

Let us take a look at this example to activate your listening skills. As illustrated, the graphic
organizer has specific information in phrases or sentences from every stanza of the song: “What a
Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong. So, when listening for specific information, it is helpful to
use any graphic organizers to jot down important details from the material listened to. In this manner,
it is feasible for you to simplify, reorganize, synthesize and evaluate an information that you listen to
expand your viewpoints.
